The Magic Quad is a one-button feature that will use the top, left quadrant of a quilt and mirror it into the other quadrants. It can make some really fun and stunning symmetrical quilts.
In this sub-module you'll learn how to use the Magic Quad feature.
The Magic Quad feature will take whatever quilt design that is in the top left quadrant of your quilt and mirror it horizontally to the top right quadrant.
It will then group the top of the quilt and mirror the top of the quilt vertically to the bottom of the quilt.
The result is a symmetrical quilt design that looks visually stunning, like this Seagrass Quilt designed by Wendy Chow of The Weekend Quilter.
ALERT: The Magic Quad feature will only work on quilts that have an even number of rows and columns.
To use the Magic Quad:
Click on the Magic Quad button (
) located on the central, vertical toolbar.
You will now see the newly magic-ed quilt layout.
You can rotate blocks and continue clicking on the Magic Quad button until you have a layout you like. Enjoy!
